Effects of Task-Specific Locomotor Effects of Task-Specific Locomotor and Strength Training in Adults Who and Strength Training in Adults Who Were Ambulatory After Stroke: ResulWere Ambulatory After Stroke: Results of the STEPS Randomized Clinical ts of the STEPS Randomized Clinical TrialTrial
Background and Purpose
A phase II, single-blinded, randomized clinical trial was conducted to determine the effects of combined task-specific and lower-extremity (LE) strength training to improve walking ability after stroke.
Subjects
The participants were 80 adults who were ambulatory 4 months to 5 years after a
unilateral stroke.
Method
Eligibility criteriaEligibility criteria age 18 years or older 4 months to 5 years after first-time onset of
a ischemic or hemorrhagic CVA able to ambulate at least 14m with an
assistive or orthotic device assistance of one person
voluntarily provided informed consent approval of their primary care physician to
participate
Exclusion criteria
Health conditions
recent exercise study participation
Serious medical conditions
Exercise sessions were 4 times per week for 6 weeks
Outcomes were self-selected walking speed, fast walking speed, and 6-minute walk distance measured before and after intervention and at a 6-month follow-up.
BWSTT:body-weight-supported treadmill training
CYCLE: limb-loaded resistive leg cycling LE-EX: LE muscle-specific progressive-resistive exerciseUE-EX: upper-extremity ergometry
